Top 1WTC Security Officer Resigns

The Durst Organization is reportedly looking for a successor to replace a top security official who resigned following a series of incidents that exposed seemingly gaping holes in security at 1 World Trade Center.

David Velazquez, assistant security director at the site, will not leave the firm until The Durst Organization has found a replacement.

The move follows recent news earlier this month that a 16-year-old boy from New Jersey was arrested after squeezing though a one-foot opening in a fence surrounding the building and ultimately making it all the way to the 104-story building’s spire.
